I am actually very excited to see this in game, the armours, magics, weapons and general feel/look of the Monk is fantastic, I love seeing Mir evolve like this... Let us know what you think and also what you think of the video editing.

Meh the video was boring but you advertised the monk like you planned. I know your limited to what resources you have but I expected more - in comparison to your still images e.g. banners, flyers etc. The video didn't come close to amazement.

Didn't really get to see actual gameplay footage of monk other than a few slaps on a boss well out of its league.
Don't really know how it will fit in with the rest of the classes. Maybe some audio descriptions would help (e.g. saying stuff like "INTRODUCING A NEW CLASS TO MIR CHRONICLES... THE MONK", "AN ALL NEW MELEE CLASS USING STAVES AND LIGHTNING BASED AOE ATTACKS TO FIGHT OFF THE ENEMY").

There is a lot of software now days that you can use to edit voices make it deeper, squeakier etc.
On a plus note (I don't know if you made them and put them in yourself but I liked the smoked effects, the fire not so much but it was still OK).

It's titled as a "first glimpse", what gameplay footage did you expect on a one man test server? Sabuk war?

Footage on bosses it might actually be able to solo rather than a few misses hit on a boss that is intended for a whole group. Also some attacks on a large group of monsters preferably in a cave that a lot of tend to hunt to see how the spells are power-wise in comparison to other classes and so on. I took nothing away from this video other than 1 or 2 new armors and a few pretty spell animations.

To your -rep Tai. Maybe take your own advice and learn to read?
My comment is based on both the features ingame and the video editing.

I personally dislike first glimpses intensely because they leave you with so many questions that are usually not ready to be answered.

They do what they are intended to do and thats raise awareness and anticipation.
Overall a good first glimpse. I want to see more and i want to know more.

Are you ready for a q+a??

The real issue will be the balance of this class... especially when chronicles already struggled to balance wizzies etc but looks interesting non the less :P

Rather than seeing this as an invented "hybrid" type class, I like to think of it as the start of a totally new course for Mir classes, away from the old originals and into a far wider range of classes, a bit like the Lineage 2 class structure perhaps.
Exciting times ahead perhaps ?

Definitely not what I expected skills don't look good IMO I just thought monk would be better with all the hype good work tho more than some have done might try it out when they release but doubt it will get many back unless the class is amazing

Looks like an interesting character that puts you optimally in between range and melee rather than as far away as possible or right in the face, should be neat!

I like it

Personally think it looks incredible. To think you've done it almost from scratch is a testament to the server team, whilst managing day to day issues.

Obviously spells aren't going to be as fancy as ones which have been created by teams and tailored over the years, but at a first glance there's nothing about them that looks shabby to me.

Soloing OWL though.. OP. Never coming back <3

Samuel,

Good start tho as this is new char for Mir totally. But, i hope your team will arrange it perfectly and balance it with other characters.

Plus that, would be better to not release it until u build it as this char can wear anything. We don't want to play it and level it and still can't wear for example OKR or HA!! as what happened to Assassin and Archer.

Great job !

Are you ready for a q+a??

What primary stat will the monk use or it will it be a combination of more than 1?
Will the monk skills be effected by attack speed or will they be magic "casts"?
Will the monk skills/spells be avoidable using Agil or MR?
What buffs will the monk be able to cast on its self?
What buffs (if any) will the monk give the group/other players?
What debuffs will the monk be able to cast on others players/mobs?
What amount of HP will a level 40 monk have?
Will the monk have a counter attack/deflect spell to return damage equal to or greater than the initial attack? (melee) Will the monk have a absorb damage from spell cast spell to gain equal to or greater than the damage cast? (spells)

What do you envisage for the play style of the monk and what would be its strengths and weaknesses vs other classes?


appreciate you may not be ready for those questions as yet but when you are the answers would be most welcome.
